Gov. Andrew Cuomo offered the
following remarks Monday:

"Dear friend,

"Today we honor and celebrate the
life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This day is dedicated to recognizing the man
who challenged our nation to overcome hatred and injustice, and we take this
time to reflect on our shared humanity.

"Dr. King taught us that the fight
for justice and equality is never over, and he set an example for all to follow
as we continue that fight. His commitment to ending racism, poverty and
violence inspires us as we strive here in New York to build a society of
equality, fairness and justice for all.

"I join with all New Yorkers in
remembering the life of this great leader, not only today, but every day."
